Came to listen to the band playing tonight w friends which was the 70s Band at the Connecticut valley Brewing Company and was hungry so I decided to grab a bite to eat at the Birdhouse Coffee in the same building. I chose the CBR chicken Quesadilla which was packed with so much filling loaded with Crispy Chicken, Bacon, dill Ranch, tomato, bourbon onions for $13. Served with sour cream and pico de gallo. So filling and delicious as I will definitely get it again.
This was stop #2 for the Hartford Coffee Crawl, and it's a reminder of why it's been 3 years since my last visit. It was chaotic, to say the least. The person at the register didn't know how to ring up my order for the crawl. In fact, no one there did. After it was explained to her, she still didn't give me my credit for participating in the event. It was busy, with people almost going out the door, but that's still no excuse for waiting over 3 minutes for my cupcake. We had people next to us receiving partial orders, and it all came down to waiting for their pastries. Perhaps on a busy shift, maybe have a designated person working strictly on food orders? I decided to go with their canned cold brew, which after 2 sips, I could drink it. I tried a piece of the Hostess cupcake, and it was dry, so I gave that away. Shoutout to the decorator tho, cause the cupcake was cute AF! But alas, with so many awesome coffee shops out there, I really don't need to give this place another try ...
I found this place from the coffee crawl. So happy I did! I found a new coffee spot. I got the Samocha iced latte which came with caramel, mocha, coconut, with coconut cold foam, and coconut Flakes. The coffee was very good and tasted just like a Samoa We also got the soup flight, which came with tomato basil bisque, New England clam chowder, and a kale sausage soup. Everything was very good. And the soup was very filling.
Birdhouse coffee was a very cute spot. I love that it doubles as a regular restaurant/bar. The coffee and dot cake were amazing. Service was great, I'll definitely be back!
I took a little bit of time before writing this review for Birdhouse Coffee. I had very high hopes, and while I liked a lot about it, I was also honestly underwhelmed with aspects as well. I did go during a cars and coffee event, so it was quite busy and the parking situation was confusing and chaotic. Definitely was not a great time for a first visit with me not familiar with things. The inside was relatively large, but the room with the counter where you order got tight with the line, people waiting for orders, merch, and several tables. The line moved fairly quickly, and the pastry case had a lot of delicious looking options. I ordered an iced peach cobbler latte and a pb banana muffin. The muffin was huge and excellent. Absolutely delicious. Great crumb to the muffin itself as well as an excellent crumb topping. I eat muffins just about every day and am a tough judge, but I was incredibly impressed. Unfortunately, I simply did not like my coffee. Weak flavor, little cloud/foam on top (which was orangey unlike all the other pictures of it I've seen), barely any of the crumble topping. I was quite disappointed with it. I did see potential, and their specialty coffee menus are consistently impressive, so I'd like to give another one a try at some point. Definitely worth another shot, and I absolutely want another muffin! Service wasn't overly friendly, but that's okay, especially given how slammed they were. Certainly pleasant enough. So, it was a pretty mixed experience. I definitely want to go back soon and would not be surprised if my rating goes up after that. For now, though, I would definitely recommend a visit for a muffin at least!
Parking: huge lot Decor: fresh and clean, off to the side of a larger area that is a brewery (location is inside a brewery) quite brisk inside, most had long sleeves on. Staff: friendly but the speed of taking care of customers is on the slower side, normally a line. Menu: coffee selection limited to light, medium, dark. No french press option but they do offer a pour over. Overall: not bad but felt odd being in a brewery with louder music playing so not really conducive to getting work done. Also asked to buy a travel mug and they only sell coffee cups which I found odd.
This place easily deserves 5 stars. A brewery, cafe and coffee shop all in one? Say less!!! Birdhouse offers specialty coffee and matcha, breakfast, lunch, and insanely delicious pastries! I could spend hours here that how much I loved the energy in the room. I got a Cinnamon Roll Matcha that was nicely sweet and just hit the spot! We also tried their Strawberry Coffee Cinnamon Crumb Cake that was too good to be true - I would've eaten the whole case if I could! They also have a decadent Cinnamon Roll that was perfectly gooey and that icing is out of this world! I also got their Quesadilla, swapped the crispy chicken for grilled chicken and was charged $2 for it. That was the only part I thought was strange since I would think grilled chicken would cost less in general than crispy chicken, but it tasted amazing, so the five star is warranted.
I stopped here while in the area and decided to try a Soup Flight for $12 it came with 3 mini cups of soup ( New England clam chowder, tomato and sausage and kale ) with oyster crackers. Soup was delicious and very filling. Staff were helpful and friendly when trying to figure out what to order. Food tasted very fresh here too. For a drink my partner got Samocha iced latte which came with caramel, mocha, coconut, with coconut cold foam, and coconut Flakes. It was delicious! Definitely would grab coffee and or food when around this coffee shop again. This coffee shop is connected to Conn. valley brewing too. Plenty of parking also.
The attached brewery has lots of room and comfy seating, perfect for a girls meet up Line was long and food took a bit, but the atmosphere was great and staff were friendly. Can't wait to come back when the weather's nicer
Have been here before but came for the women's month market! They were very busy, the line was wrapped all the way to CT Valley Brewing. Purchased a bagel with bacon jalapeño cream cheese which was amazing and at a great price. And two muffins, the carrot cake one was to die for! The only complaint I have is that when standing in line you are not aware of the wait time for the hot food, is it up on the counter on a whiteboard and staff does not mention it to you at all. Coffee was great loved the Saint paddy's day line up offers. Plenty of space to hangout with friends and chat, and or study/work.
Finally made it up to Birdhouse Coffee on a rainy Saturday. Birdhouse Coffee has been on my list for a while, and I've been drawn to their Monthly Special drinks. Birdhouse Coffee and Connecticut Valley Brewing share the same space, which provides plenty of seating, both inside and out. Each section has its own vibe, continuing a classic, old-time aviation theme. It was fairly busy, but we were able to find a seat in the brewery area. Birdhouse Coffee offers both breakfast and lunch, along with their coffee and baked goodies. Unfortunately, we arrived too early for lunch--the kitchen switches over at 12 p.m. on Saturdays, and we arrived a little after 11:30 a.m. We settled on a rich Espresso Brownie Coffee Crumb Cake to pair with our specialty drinks. I tried the April Shower, which was so fitting for the day--an iced blue bellini tea (which I spotted on the shelf for purchase), honey, and topped with a sweet 'cloud.' It was light and not too sweet. My mom ordered the Blueberry Pancake Chai, which was also very good. The maple, cinnamon, and warm spices were perfect for the day. We'd definitely love to come back to try more of Birdhouse's coffee and some of their lunch or dinner items next time.
Birdhouse Coffee is connected to the Connecticut Valley Brewing. We got a table at the Brewery and ordered food via online from the Birdhouse Coffee. There were seats in the coffee shop as well, but it was packed. The parking lot was big and it had plenty of spots. My husband and I both ordered a chicken salad wrap, he had it with fries, I had it with tater tots. They said it would be about a 20 to 30 minute wait and the food would be ready by 4:30; we understood since it was super busy, they also said that we would get a text when it's ready. By 4:50, we didn't get a text so my husband went to check with the counter and the food was ready a few minutes after. Aside from the wait, the chicken salad wrap was good, the tater tots were slightly soggy, not sure how long it was sitting. I'm planning to check out their coffee next time since we already had coffee from a different place. Also, I think it's a great idea that it's connected to a brewery; I didn't mind the wait as much since I had some beers in the meantime.
Came to this wonderful coffee shop after the wedding of one of my friends and I really enjoyed the experience! Tried their banana pudding latte and it was delicious!!! I also loved their pistacchio muffin! The coffee shop also has a brewery right next to it with beer on tap, so it was quite nice to have the option to enjoy some coffee before some afternoon drinks! Wish I lived closer so I could come to this coffee shop again!
Still great coffee and food, bit of a wait I've come back to this location a few times every year. Standards are still good, food is very good, specialty lattes are a tad sweet but not bad overall. They are well known, but even with the wait they are really good. So long as you're willing to brave the crowds and the lines then it's a great option. Price is a bit high, but so is the quality. read more
Great spot for breakfast! We were in a bit of a hurry so we decided to get take-out. We both ordered the veggie omelet served with sourdough bread. We both very satisfied. Eggs were cooked well and enough spinach and tomatoes. The sourdough bread was toasted and buttered in deliciousness. Customer service was great! They were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stop in here when I am in the area! read more

I'd rate this at a 3.5 if I could, so they get a 4 with rounding. SERVICE still really good service, the girls at the counter were helpful with any questions I had. Offered suggestions on drinks. DRINK I enjoyed my drink, I got an iced peppermint mocha. Not the best peppermint drink I've ever had but I did enjoy it. In the past I got things with cold foam and felt it wasn't very foamy and not worth the price add on so I avoid now. FOOD I was really looking forward to my sandwich. I got the early bird sandwich and was excited as I love pesto and birdhouse does their eggs just how I like (over medium). I was shocked when I got my sandwich. For $10.50 I couldn't believe I got a half sandwich that they couldn't even be bothered to have the bread facing the same direction when they slapped it on the platter (along with a pink syrup-y splotches of something from another dish or drink on the paper). I know their menu offers half sandwiches but what I ordered called it a breakfast sandwich. There also was hardly a drizzle of the pesto aioli on there. Between a small drink and my food I paid almost $20. I did enjoy what I had but the value simply wasn't there for me. I would still go to birdhouse when they have their special market events because it does make the trip more worth it for me, but overall I won't go out of my way to get food/drink here. read more

One of the best local places to go for cars and coffee (Sundays). Always a nice variety of cars and mature crowd. The coffee is good, pastries taste fresh. Prices are a little steep and they usually can't keep up w demand - a long wait is the norm here (don't get a brk sandwich and you'll get your order a LOT faster). But overall I love the atmosphere and people here. I've also stopped by on Saturday and it's very chill. Nice seating areas to sit and work or just relax w a friend. read more
I've been meaning to try Birdhouse Coffee for a bit now, but was never close by.... aaaaand then one day, I had a client booking up in that area and I capitalized on it! The space is pretty cool as it's very open and connected to a brewery. The staff seemed like they were bothered to have to stop chatting in order to take a customer's order. As for the coffee, it was decent. I've been to quite a few coffee shops and usually order the same one or two drinks. In this case, the coffee itself (iced americano) was pretty good, but the cold foam just kind of dissolved into the coffee making it just a latte. If I return, I'll be skipping the foam. read more

I love the seasonal options at Birdhouse Coffee! The service was great, I got my drinks super fast despite there being quite a long line. The seating in the brewery area is also really nice and would be a great place to come grab a coffee and study for a bit. read more

Been quite a few times and will say this, it's a coffee house and their coffee and coffee drinks are not good. Last time I'll step foot in this "coffee house"!! Silk City in Manchester/Daybreak in Glastonbury/Flour Girl in Hebron/Community Room Cafe in Newington/Rebel Dog in East Hartford/Radial Coffee in Vernon - as other local spots all have phenomenal coffee, great service and awesome foodies! How this place is still existing is beyond me. Maybe it's people who want to take that next, little step above Dunkin that are loving this place, I don't know. :D Stopped in again recently to give it another try, went to get a breakfast sammich and coffee. It was 11:30 a.m. and the staff said they just changed over to their lunch menu, apparently someone there just randomly decided that that morning. Their website and Facebook page both say breakfast served until noon. So instead I ordered a mocha which was basic and a pastry - a hard, stale coffee cake. I e-mailed them that day from the link on their webpage about the incident and a week later never got a response. Anyone getting a negative response from their customers should be responding with a 24-48 hour turnaround. I e-mailed again about having not gotten any response a few days later - still no answer, wow!! So these people clearly give absolutely zero f*cks about their food, their coffee, nor their customers!! Zero! Never again and I urge anyone to not waste their time here! read more
My second time to this nice cafe tucked into a brewery. It was a beautiful day and the place was packed because of a car show on the premises. Our food and drinks took nearly an hour. However, there's plenty of seating indoors and outside and you get texted when your order is ready. The place just has a good vibe. read more

One of my favorite spots. Have been coming here for past couple years. Great location, always an event to look forward to. Even when not having an event, very comfortable and engaging atmosphere. Love bringing my dog here. Dogs aren't allowed inside. So makes it hard going alone as their outside window isn't for service. But I try to eat beforehand if I won't be meeting someone who could get my food. That's the only downfall to this place. The food is great, drinks are plenty and so much variety. Highly recommend. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all wonderful. Never had a bad order. Food is fresh. Bakery items are hard to pass by! They look amazing. Also have bought many mugs, cups, etc that have lasted. A must try if you haven't been here. read more

If coffee is not your thing not to worry. By day, a coffee shop, on weekends a brunch spot, in the evenings: extension to the brewery serving dinner and amazing desserts. This is by far my favorite local coffee shop. It has outdoor seating with firepits that set the mood for a relaxing summer night. Perfect spot to catch up with a friend or get some studying/work done. My go-to order is a cortado, always made to perfection, chocolate dunked donut holes were to die for. The homemade pastries served at this cafe are stunning. The menu constantly changes according to the seasons or upcoming holiday. read more

After hearing many wonderful things about Birdhouse, my friend and decided to check it out. It was pretty busy at 11am that we went in a Saturday. The outside looks big since it's connected to CT Valley Brewing. It's pretty nice. Ordering was very organized. They do encourage while waiting in line to Order ahead by using their app because it gets so busy. I had an egg/ bacon/ cheese sandwich on a GF bread. The GF bread definitely was fresh but it needed flavor. Wasn't crazy about it . But I did order a pistachio Latte and it very very good. It tasted like pistachio. So I did enjoy my drink. While we were there we checked out the brewery and a few vendors they had in yesterday. There is sitting on both sides of the building outside and tables inside as well. Because it was a beautiful day yesterday we grabbed a seat outdoors and enjoyed our breakfast. I'd come back for coffee if I'm Near the area and check Out CT Valley Brewing as well. Birdhouse offered pastries, a few breakfasts items and lunch items as well! read more
